Made it to January 2.

Why should anyone want to curtail purchases?
Some of the best sales are right now and will be in the coming days!

Not sure what the market is in Florida, but I'm not seeing any deals on either side of the coasts. With wine sales increasing 30% due to the pandemic I'm not sure there is any incentive to lower prices.

Carlisle release will start the burn for me.

Woodland Hills Wine Company had a 15% sale. Their prices are usually good without the 15%.
The sale is over now but I think others will follow.

I guess we will just have to wait and see.

The most important Jan releases in my book- Maybach (Jan 21), Myriad & Aubert (Jan 12).

Hanging in there, have deliveries coming in. If things go right, Berserker Day is the next day I unsheathe the credit card(s).

I should make it to the 7th, when Aubert is offered.

Caved yesterday and picked up Beau Vigne on Last Bottle. The shame!

January 3rd, 2021, 6:26 am

As a side note, when I'm not drinking, I don't feel as much desire to buy. And it's not just about tipsy clicking!

I've also never bought a bottle of wine on Berserker Day, so I might even be able to make it through the month. We'll see.

January 3rd, 2021, 6:41 am

I'm out. Just pulled trigger!

Freelon F Hunter · January 3rd, 2021, 9:10 pm

15 hours for me.

Went to pickup dinner on Jan 2 and decided to stop by Spruce and browse. Out with 4 bottles of 19 German Riesling. Haven't bought anything online though.

Got a mailing. Ordered burgundy and Bordeaux on Jan 1

January 4th, 2021, 12:26 am

Berserker Day, easy.

January 4th, 2021, 6:09 am

January 4th, 2021, 6:24 am

Now 30

I'm good until the Myriad Dr Crane offer.... in a few days.

#70 Post by **BobMilton** » January 4th, 2021, 10:28 am

I'll hold out until the 27th - letting the credit cards rest until the blitz.

#71 Post by **Eric White** » January 4th, 2021, 10:29 am

so far, so good - trying to stay strong! (of course, come the 27th all bets are off)

72 hours, then I bought my first bottle. Far sooner than expected

#74 Post by **Randy C** » January 4th, 2021, 12:20 pm

Proud to have made it 4 days!

Just bought 3 bottles of 1974 Clos Du Val Reserve off Commerce Corner from Gerald Wagner.

IlkkaL · #75 Post by **IlkkaL** » January 4th, 2021, 12:24 pm

Didn’t buy any wine until today. Mostly Burgs from the Boisson family and a couple of Bereche.

#76 Post by **Howard Cooper** » January 4th, 2021, 1:31 pm

We have threads on how we should buy more wine because producers in Champagne and other regions are hurting and now threads where people are taking pride in not buying wine. I have not bought any wine yet in 2020 but plan to do so when I see what I want to buy.

January 4th, 2021, 1:36 pm

Made it 22 and a half hours.

Three days, 18 hours, 51 minutes and counting.

Day 4 and no purchases! I wavered but hit delete. So strong!

#81 Post by **Craig G** » January 4th, 2021, 7:31 pm

I’m out. I had a company service award that I converted to debit cards and then to K&L gift cards since they don’t expire, but my willpower expired and I bought a couple of expensive bottles to drink soon.

January 5th, 2021, 2:55 pm

So far so good. I entered some of Jonathan's stealth December purchases into CT today and that helped scratch the itch.

#83 Post by **Matt Latuchie** » January 5th, 2021, 3:08 pm

I'm out.

#84 Post by **Jeff_M.** » January 5th, 2021, 3:24 pm

1/12

Aubert
Myriad
maybe some Saxum.

#85 Post by **Neal.Mollen** » January 5th, 2021, 3:28 pm

Haven't bought a bottle since early November. Could be any day if a compelling price/wine combo pops, but it could be months.

January 5th, 2021, 3:31 pm

Today.

Looks like my last purchase was NYE, so I *might* make it to next weeks Occidental release but that will be as far as this drags on.

Nope...I'm back in! Turned out to be NV Delamotte instead of the advertised 2008...order cancelled! We don't count local grocery store stuff right?

#89 Post by **Tom Chen** » January 5th, 2021, 4:17 pm

Held out until today.

Got a Wine Back Reward from Vinfolio that is only good through January, so picked up another bottle of 2010 Grand Puy Lacoste.

Between winery releases and retailer offers and Berserker Day, it just never stops . . .

#90 Post by **F.Daner** » January 5th, 2021, 4:28 pm

Evidently 4 days. Bought 6 Goodfellow 2018 from Avalon Wine in Oregon.

that was quick.

#91 Post by **F.Daner** » January 5th, 2021, 4:30 pm

Hi Will ! Any chance you tried any of the 17's ?

Just went to the grocery store to pick up something for the missus and bought four bottles of wine for myself. Some women buy purses and shoes when they've got spare change. Me? I buy wine.
Can. Not. Stop.

Happy New Year f.daner!

The 17’s were birth years for my son so they went straight to the offsite. If they are anything like the 16’s they are excellent & nowhere near ready

This.

New Years Resolution of buying less wine never stood a chance.

#95 Post by **Jim F** » January 5th, 2021, 7:13 pm

I am done. Made it all the way to Jan. 4

K Kl@dder · #96 Post by **K Kl@dder** » January 5th, 2021, 7:26 pm

tapped out last night.

Chuck Schmeling · January 5th, 2021, 7:37 pm

When next week is Occidental?

hey, I bought 08 Dom in a grocery store last year. Every bottle counts except cooking wine! And we can argue that you bought it—just didn’t get it. But we will let you back in . . . knowing you will be out soon!

#99 Post by **Peter Shurman** » January 5th, 2021, 8:48 pm

Looking back at previous January purchases, I should behave until the middle of the month.

#100 Post by **Jason T** » January 5th, 2021, 9:04 pm

2019 Burgundy allocations hit my inbox Wednesday morning. Soooo Jan 6 it is.
